Well, drawing from your explanation of their thinking in response to floranna, maybe it's a clumsy attempt ("clumsy" as in "unimaginably offensive") to imbue the senseless deaths of so many with some kind of meaning so it wouldn't all be for naught. Of course that just adds another level of offensiveness, sigh.
While you're waiting to get out of there, and fast, maybe you could find some way to microagress them back. Compare your skipping lunch to Civil War-era deprivations or something. But aw hell, we take the high road, right. And it's not like the minority is ever allowed to feel safe making totally off-color remarks.
